Chapter 1183: Chapter 1183: The Death of Doctor Wang

The severed head, still with its mouth open, uttered its unfinished plea: "Gen...General, have mercy!"

The crowd let out a collective gasp at the scene.

After Situ Yongjie chopped off Doctor Wang’s head, he discarded the blood-stained saber in his hand: "Ignorant fool, how dare you defy me."

Then, he shouted loudly, "Someone come! Feed this dog’s corpse to the wolves."

"Yes."

The guards, snapping to attention, quickly moved to clean up Doctor Wang’s body. They were all battle-hardened soldiers who had fought enemies alongside Situ Yongjie, so dealing with Doctor Wang’s body did not frighten them; they tidied up swiftly with nimble hands.

But the maids were too terrified to look.

After all, they were young girls, inexperienced in worldly matters, sold by traffickers to the General’s Mansion as servants. Naturally, they hadn’t seen such gruesome scenes before, so it was normal for them to be scared.

Xuexue leisurely left only after Situ Yongjie had killed Doctor Wang.

Doctor Wang was a ticking time bomb, always on the verge of turning and biting her.

Now that Situ Yongjie had killed him, it was for the best, saving her the trouble.

Couple’s Courtyard.

Auntie Tang fell ill for half a month after learning that Doctor Wang was killed by Situ Yongjie.

Due to the affair, word had slipped out.

Now, most of the maids in her courtyard had already been sent away by the Old Madam, leaving only a close-serving Old Maid.

Even Situtu Qinger and her sisters were ordered by Situ Yongjie not to take a step near the Couple’s Courtyard.

So, for half a month now, the Couple’s Courtyard was cold and deserted, with not a soul around.

That day, Auntie Tang lay pale and sickly on her sickbed.

At that moment, the only Old Maid serving her came in holding a bowl of blackish medicinal soup...

"Concubine, drink the medicine."

"Mm!"

Auntie Tang originally had no illness; she was just frightened by Doctor Wang’s incident.

Who knew she would be bedridden for half a month, and the more she took the medicine, the more exhausted she felt.

"What kind of medicine is this? Why do I feel more and more drained as I take it!"

"The maidservant doesn’t know either; the medicine was picked according to the doctor’s prescription."

"Who invited the doctor?"

"It was the Old Master."

"Oh!"

"Concubine, you should lie down, and the maidservant will feed you the medicine."

Auntie Tang shook her head weakly and said, "This medicine doesn’t seem effective; I don’t want to take it."

"How can that be? If you’re ill, you must take medicine." The Old Maid pleaded earnestly, "Prince Pu and the Princess Consort would be so worried if they knew! Besides, not for yourself, think of your children. If something happens to you, what will they do?"

Auntie Tang thought this made sense, especially concerning her young son Situ Zhi. On the day her affair with Doctor Wang was exposed, in front of everyone in the hall, his violent nature erupted, and he cut off Doctor Wang’s foot on the spot.

Luckily, she had mentioned this to the Old Madam.

The Old Madam, aware of the gravity of the situation, promptly instructed a servant to stop Situ Zhi’s actions, preventing further catastrophe.

"Alright, set it aside. I’ll drink it myself once it cools."

"Concubine’s health is poor; let the maidservant serve you." Saying this, the Old Maid set down the medicinal soup, gently helped Auntie Tang sit up, and carefully placed a pillow behind her back for more comfort.

Auntie Tang: "Mm, that’s fine too."

The Old Maid scooped a little of the steaming medicinal soup with a spoon, blew on it gently, and then carefully fed it to Auntie Tang.
